John Rosales, wrestling coach at Fountain Valley High School, said Wednesday he has been offered the job of wrestling coach at Rio Hondo College in Whittier.

Rosales, 43, also would be a full-time physical education teacher at Rio Hondo.

“I’ve been offered a position, but it’s tentative right now,” Rosales said. “I’m waiting for board approval.”

Rosales has been at Fountain Valley for 17 years and helped build the Barons into a wrestling power. He started as an assistant coach but was promoted to head coach in 1978.

The Barons won six Sunset League titles under Rosales.
